Okay, I think I should start posting 'em at least a few pictures for now. They didn't say "a picture is worth a thousand words" for nothing you know... So, take your time to "read" through the few thousand words here today because I'm attempting to do a Wingz. Heh heh...
We touched down Arlanda Airport at about 3pm on the 5th of May after a 12 hours' flight. As we walked out from the terminal, what was the first thing we felt? Wow! So cold! Or rather, so cool and refreshing! At that moment, I was reminded of the time I stepped out from Heathrow, August 2006. Same kind of 'feel', only this time, it's colder! Brrrr...
The cab driver was already waiting for us at the airport when we arrived. Took us to the hotel, checked in and an hour later, me & Pig-let were already out on the streets of Stockholm. By then it was already after 6pm, I think. Considered late evening already over there, but the sky was still as bright as 3pm. During this period, the sun rises at about 4am and sets at about 9pm.
After a stroll along the Karlavägen 43, the road where the hotel is located, we got hungry but couldn't find any restaurant, except for a couple of mini marts. So, we decided we'd just hop into the 7-11 store beside the hotel and see what they've got. Check it out in the pictures below.

On board flight MH90, overlooking the archipelago.(Am I right or wrong, Kikare??)
Arlanda Airport, Stockholm(Reminds me of Bayan Lepas Airport in Penang, right Chen?)
Our friendly Palestinian cab driver. Standard rate for a cab from Arlanda to Stockholm (city centre) is 440 Swedish Kroner (SEK), equivalent to about RM226.
Yellow tulips outside the hotel. The building in the background, if I'm not mistaken, is the Malaysian Embassy. Yup, it's just beside our hotel.
Scandic Park's entrance.
From the outside.
Temporary reception area. Yeah, they were doingsome renovation at the original reception area.
The hotel rooms. Can be intimidating if you were to walk alone...
The room I shared with "Pig-let"...
Our room... saw Pig-let's Pink Piggy? *grins*
The artistic piece hanging on top of our bed's headboard.
An interesting dustbin found in our room.3 compartments for 3 different kinds of waste.
What do you think will happen
if we had this type of dustbins in M'sia? *grins*
Dinner on the first night, hotdog from the 7-11 next to the hotel.
And coffee to go with it. This 'meal' is 30 crowns, about RM15.**To Be Continued**

Bright sunlight at 6pm? 0.0 It would make up for all the cold, yeah?
*waiting for more pictures*
I see two-lips!! so yellow two-lips! I so love! and all other pics too.
we have similar sort of dustbins, not because they're round lah, but they're all properly labelled on what they're for (just paper, or mixed recycled, or pure rubbish). I think in Malaysia, everything just gets thrown into them regardless, lol!
*Thump!!! Thump!!! thump!!! Let me out of the suitcase!!! Let me out!!!! Open up!!!!**
Pssst!! got buy any Swedish Erotica movies for me anot?
Can't wait to see more beautiful pics! Love the tulips. You did have a fabulous holiday didn't you?

Oh, you were there too? How long were you there? Everyday McD's? Not cheap also, isn't it? Our one and only McD's meal there cost SEK 141 for 2 person... really pengsan!
Oh, but I love their Swedish pop songs! So pop! Prolly Abba-ish, that's why haha...
**********
Dear misti,...
Yeah, everything is expensive if convert to our currency... that's why seems that a lot of people wanna work there :)

Haha... you punya mata ada poblem kar?
Yeah, I took more than a thousand pics but not all are nice...
Haha... you think savante will come back and read the comments? :D Now I wonder if Swedish water is magic water... haha...
**********
Dear narrowband,...
Haha... how can have my pic wor? You forgot your "list" of do's and don'ts about blogging already?? :p
Everything is expensive after converting to RM... Swedish food? Ha... not nice! Really wan... Unless you consider the meatballs as Swedish food? Most of the time, their food is salty! Way way too salty for Asians!
You are most welcome! Haha... nowadays we seldom receive snail mails, huh? Maybe that explains the excited-ness, huh? *wink* But you are not alone... hehe...
Frame it up? Haha... wow! What an honour! TQ! But yeah, I think it's a 'nice' thing to do, frame it up, because I think it's one of the most expensive postcard(s) I've ever sent! Incl. the stamps, of course...
Thank you, narrowband! *grins*

Dear kikare,...
Yes yes! There is a park right opposite Scandic Park! And of course we had the buffet breakfast EVERYDAY for 8 days! Haha.. first two days, everything tasted yummmm! Come the 3rd day onwards...... everyday also same menu! Meatballs, scramble eggs, BACON!!, boiled vege (either baby carrots & brocoli or asparagus and baby (?) radish), fruits, yogurt, cheese, more boiled/smoked bacons, various types of bread. It is actually pretty awesome, huh? But I only had the meatballs the first two days haha! I'll post up the breafast spread pics next ;)
Oh, I also noticed there are lots of "Scandic" hotels everywhere, huh?
